Finishing off their first season with a bang, the PENCILTOWN crew discuss strategies for creating compelling characters that propel a story forward. How can we create characters that the audience can relate to, care about, and are compelled to follow through to the end of the journey? How do we create characters who aren't stereotypes and cliches?
After discussing strategies for writing characters, they delve into the artistic process to see how artists can bring them to life through shape, performance, and more. They share examples of how they have created characters in their own works, as well as characters and creative teams throughout pop culture that have resonated with them.
